Qucosa

You want to publish the results of your scientific work? Qucosa is the document and publication server of scientific libraries in the Free State of Saxony. It serves the non-commercial publication of first and second publications, the verification and archiving of digital documents and is part of the international Open Access movement.

For researchers at TU Dresden

As a member of the TU Dresden, you have access to a special area on Qucosa as an institutional repository. There you can publish articles, reports, conference papers, theses, dissertations and postdoctoral theses as first and second publications.

For external researchers and citizen scientists

Scientific authors without institutional affiliation and institutions without their own repository can publish scientific documents of various types and origins in the SLUB repository on Qucosa. Documents from and about the Free State of Saxony are also collected there.

    For Saxon research institutions

    In addition to TU Dresden, we also offer other Saxon research institutions and universities the option of using Qucosa as a platform for their own repository. If you are interested in our hosting services, we will be happy to support you. Our services are already being used successfully by the following institutions:

    Global visibility

    All documents on Qucosa are searchable via the SLUB catalog and can be cited using persistent identification codes (URN, DOI). The content can also be found in international search engines such as Google Scholar, Google+, BASE (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine), DNB, OpenAIRE and WorldCat and is therefore visible worldwide.

    Free software for free knowledge

    Qucosa uses the open source software solutions Fedora Commons as a storage basis and Kitodo.Publication for the document server functions, in the spirit of the free availability of knowledge.
